[@Speedy9yo]

Chris Farley and John Candy are my all time favourite comedians, so I’m so happy with today’s vlog. I’ve watched a lot on Chris’ life too and this vlog is both different and interesting than what is out there. I think about how great of a dad he would have been.

[@shawnoandrew]

Two of the best.

Hi, amazing how your channel has grown!!! you deserve it... a few days ago I was thinking about Chris. I was 6 years old when my mother passed away, and I saw 'Beverly Hills ninja' he gave me a lot of laughs and joy, I love you forever Chris!!!, Thank u jordan for this video. you are amazing!!!

[@gablopez3611]

I enjoyed this video I myself is a overweight dude have been since the age of 10 or 11 and growing up I use to watch a lot of Saturday night live and Chris was my favorite because he gave us big guys hope that we could make it some how or atleast not scared to embrace being big i use to watch every movie he was in. In my eyes he was one of a kind and that’s a rare thing RIP Chris Farley your never forgotten Tommy Boy 4 Lyfe

[@UberDurable]

Chris was very special, one of a kind. I have never seen him of course, but I did see his brother Kevin in Los Angeles in 2015, and he resembles Chris. Glad that happened!

[@joshuacooper4329]

Chris Farley is my favorite actor, I have all his movies and the best of Chris Farley SNL

[@candacegilbert970]

The first two of his movies I saw was Tommy Boy and Black Sheep. Then I saw Beverly hills Ninja. He was a phenomenal actor and comedian. R.I.P. Chris Farley.

[@hectorlopez1069]

Exactly, a phenomenal comedian who died too soon.

[@RhettyforHistory]

Chris was so funny! I still remember when I heard the bad news on the radio. He was one of the greats! Matt Foley was awesome! I always loved the skit with Patrick Swayze where they are both trying out for Chipendales.

[@freebird4863]

Chris Farley.... i adored him. Even watching this vlog, i find myself laughing at the stories of his antics throughout life. A sense of humor and a kind heart are the most beautiful of qualities a person can have. “Housekeeping??.. you want me to fluff your pillows?” Never gets old. Love you Chris Farley. ⭐️

[@timbuege2624]

Welcome to the Midwest Jordan! Thank you for coming to Wisconsin and paying tribute to Chris. I visited his grave but not the other sites you featured. He was indeed one of SNL’s best ever. Gone far too soon.

[@nationaltoolcompany]

Spade did NOT go to the funeral. He was quoted as saying "I couldnt go into a place and see Chris in a box."

[@johnm1414]

Yes his Matt Foley character was always hilarious. He would tell the parents who were trying to help to 'shut your pie hole'. I liked him in Beverly Hills Ninja playing a goofball from Wisconsin.

[@jeffkidd7409]

What a funny guy. He gave us alot of laughs. Sad ending to a man that brought so much joy. Thanks for honoring our, Tommy Boy, Lunch lady, and Matt Foley.

[@debbiemoeller2169]

I agree with you, Jordan, Chris was the best on Saturday Night Live. I loved the skit with him and Patrick Swayze dancing. Cracked me up so much. Tommy Boy was an all time favorite movie that I could watch all the time. Ironic it mirrored his own life. "Tommy want wingy" still has me laughing to this day. Btw house on the rock is fabulous!!! Thank you for a truly great vlog. Chris is always in our hearts. "For the love of God" lol another quote of his. Safe travels and much love to you and Jah ❤❤❤🦁

[@anadrecneps6579]

Chris Farley is a Legend. What a great video Jordan. Loved this so much. He was very popular in my house growing up as kid. I can tell you truly respected and loved the guy. One of a kind. Again .. your spin on people and places is really a beautiful thing.❤

[@staceyrichardson6413]

[@rockingal9520]

Yes Jordan is one of the great channels. Loved the Chippendale's skit with Farley and Swayze it is a classic. John, I was raised where the kind of handshake a man had, gave the insight to his integrity.

[@johnkangas8916]

@@rockingal9520 I agree, Chris was one of the legends, he left us way too soon. I was raised to shake hands firmly and to look a person in the eye. Where a "handshake contract" is better than any paper contract. Respect, honor, integrity and class.

That was the new Chris Farley Haven house. They demolished the old outpatient center for a new inpatient one. His positive legacy continues! Great vlog!

[@SCRANE1115]

Right! For other viewers, the new building videoed at 24:05, replaced and expanded the previous Hope Haven -Chris Farley House. Construction started in winter 2019 and is now called the 'New Hope Haven-Chris Farley House'. It is still sponsored by Catholic Charities of Madison.

[@jtstonewallaggieclassof2005]

While I was doing my undergraduate degrees at the University I went to, I did the Matt Foley skit. I found a matching suit and bought it in extra large. To make me seem overweight (I was 6'3" tall and weighed 215 with 6% body fat as I was a walk on split end/H-Back for our football team) we duct taped pillows underneath the extra large shirt I wore under the suit. We even bought a break away coffee table. We memorized the skit "word for word" and performed it on a visit weekend for prospective students. There were about 5,000 potential students and their parents in the crowd (the university I went to had 51,000 undergraduate students and roughly 12,000 grad students when I was a student). I was nervous, but it brought down the house and got a standing ovation. Thanks for posting a video in memoriam of one of the most genius comedians of our generation, Jordan! I love your videos, and you remind me a lot of myself. Cheers mate, JTG

[@KLEARSKITHEKREEPER]

"I live in a van down by the river" ..😂RIP CHRIS..comedy at its finest..loved him with spade in black sheep..classic! He was going to voice SHERK...Mike myers said he was honored to take Chris Farley part..awesome as always Jordan😎

I always wondered how Shrek would've turned out had Chri completed voice work for that movie. 🤣🤣 I know it would've been funny

[@maggieeriksson9639]

I met Chris Farley by chance in Monrovia, California in 1994. I was rushing to catch up with friend. I literary RAN into him and David Spade. They had been in town filming a movie. I believe it was Tommy Boy? Anyway he was super cool about it but I was star stuck and just giggled and walked away,

Chris was hilarious and he had that John Belushi/Sam Kinison vibe going on too.. He among many passed away young.

[@FlipperBrat37]

I find this so ironic! Earlier today, I was just thinking about Chris and back when I visited his grave about how I stood there in silence and awe for like 10 minutes straight...unreal. What a wonderful way to keep his memory alive. He sure is missed.

All those wreaths at the Cemetery looked beautiful and what a lovely grave with the crying woman statue. So sad that another great talent passed away so young and in a horrible way like that. Great vlog Jordan.

[@marymathews8421]

"I live in a van down by the river." We have a local DJ I have listened to for years now in town who wound up getting divorced. He and his ex had 2 kids. He had to leave the home; he would play clips of the quote at times. We do have a rather large river here in West Michigan in our town, so it would crack me up when I heard him play that on my way to work. Great vlog today.

[@seaofnan]

When I saw his beautiful childhood home, the first thing that popped into my mind was a fantasy of Chris and his own little family (had they existed), walking up that sidewalk to visit the folks. Perhaps that could have saved him - to fall in love and have children, to give him something to live for. His passing is a hard one to swallow, to this day - loved by so many, so full of brilliance and yet so careless with his gift as to let the dark side claim him - it chaps my hide! Why is it so many of the greats are so self-destructive - it's a mystery. I admit to tearing up over this vlog, but I'm glad I saw it - as always, great work. You got me good with this one.

[@carolynparton8842]

Farley was a comedy legend. I went to a taping of the Bill Maher tv show POLITICALLY INCORRECT in L.A. on Aug. 29, 1997 and Chris was a panelist on the program. He was actually in rehab at the time, but they let him out for the day to tape the show. He was absolutely brilliant and the only celebrity to come out after and meet audience members. Sadly, he was dead less than four months later.

[@Natalie-ox7xm]

I grew up with his comedy same as everyone my age, and absolutely adored the guy. It was such a tragic loss, man. I read that book The Uncensored History of SNL, and there are many insights into his personal life. He didn't just admire Belushi, he was obsessed, that was his hero. He was going through the wardrobe department and just thrilled to find a jacket that had been John's on the show and iirc he stole it from the costume department lol!

[@caseywhitney528]

Awesome this made me so happy and sad to see I love Chris Farley he was and still is my favorite comedian it breaks my heart knowing how he died and there is still a legacy that he left behind it's his comedy and it shows that you can make it to fame you have to work hard at it that's how I see it.

You know Chris Farley had a likeable personality and was enjoyed by many whose star just shown too bright. I think that you Jordan could relate to the acting skillset that he had to learn. You just couldn't help but like the guy he carried that comedic style because he craved that attention which in addiction has its conditions that some cannot quite deal with. He strove to be loved by everyone and it cost him dearly. He is missed

When I think of Chris Farley I always remember that skit on SNL when he was doing an "interview" with the real Paul McCartney. It was so funny because he was trying to act all cool but his character was so nervous he could hardly even ask a question without losing it whenever Paul made a response. He ended up beating himself up physically and emotionally because he was so in awe of Paul.
